Welcome back Listeners! On todays episode Bernie and Yasmine are accompanied by none other than the Architxct himself, Fitch Jean. Fitch is a man of many words as he is of many talents. A self described storyteller, Fitch wears many hats in the creative industry such as; Filmmaker, producer, videographer and photographer to name a few.
Fitch got his start similarly to most of us by forming a passion of his into a sustainable career. It was definitely not an easy process but as listeners will be able to tell throughout this episode, the journey has been well worth it this far. Fitch goes on to expand on his process to becoming The.Architxct as we know him, starting from the very beginning with a knack for storytelling and an early love for photography. Fitch dives into the struggle of explaining to immigrant parents that their son wants to pursue a career in the creative industry. From that point on the journey to becoming his own creative entrepreneur began. Fitch goes into details with the girls about his story up until this point. From; making day trips to Montreal and Toronto for creative photoshoots, booking spontaneous trips to LA and Vegas for work, developing skills that helped with the transition of photography to film making, discovering and reflecting on the differences of working creatively in Ottawa than other cities, Fitch left nothing off the table.
Additionally, the girls and Fitch discussed other topics such as; the importance of not putting yourself in a niche box, in Fitch's case he does so by calling himself a storyteller.
The hosts and guest also take the time to reflect on past projects and take a moment to have open dialogue and appreciate their growth thus far.
The girls also naturally had to ask todays guest what his experience has been like working with stylists in photography and film projects and how it has benefitted him.
The episode ends off with a little tease into what's next for Fitch Jean and Lenz Studio as a business... but you'll have to listen in to know the tea ;)
